The GOP vision of a “perfect” America

[Cyrano]

Based on what today’s Republican Party fights against and what they defend, this would seem to be their view of “perfection.”

Zero taxes for the 1%.

Zero abortions or contraception, ever, for any reason.

Zero Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Zero public education.

Zero gun laws.

Zero immigration except for white Europeans who speak English.

Zero tolerance for non-Christian religious beliefs.

Zero voting rights except for those "permitted" to vote.

Zero funding of anything except the military, the police, and their own health care.

Zero child labor or minimum wage laws.

Zero unions.

Zero restrictions on “States Rights.”

Zero tolerance of “socialist ideas.”

I’ve probably left much out so feel free to add.

1. I think that applies more to the Tea Party than the GOP

But then again the Tea Party is the GOP base, as they are showing by their steadfast refusal to warm up to Mitt Romney.

2. a couple more

prison for homosexuals and atheists.

lifetime presidency for GOP.

no democrat can hold public office, even dog catcher. They'll just will shoot the dog.

[Cyrano]

4. "prison for homosexuals and atheists"?!?! Are you soft on crime?

These are abominations that require the death penalty. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

[libtodeath]

3. Pretty well sums it up.

[RiffRandell]

5. Zero protection for the environment. n/t

[Cyrano]

7. You may have just committed the crime of "scientific thought," RiffRandell.

[Ikonoklast]

12. You sound suspiciously like one of them there Frenchmen.

Better watch yourself...because the Committee on Public Safety certainly is.

[Cyrano]

17. Moi?

[Ikonoklast]

20. Oui, m'sieur.

J'ai l'oeil sur vous.

[krispos42]

6. Zero import tariffs.

Oh, wait, they almost have that already.

How about "all taxes paid overseas are 100% deductible from US taxes"?

Oh, they have that as well.

Let's try "removing all environmental laws", and then "removing all ability to sue for being poisoned by the environment".

[Kablooie]

8. You forgot that black people be restored to their true status as of property of whites.

[Cyrano]

9. I intentionally left that out.

"States Rights" has always been right-wing code that covers a broad spectrum of horrors -- including slavery.

[calimary]

15. And women of ANY color as property of men.

[Brigid]

10. Zero funds for disaster relief.

People have to be responsible and not live in any area where any kind of natural disaster can strike, you know.

[calimary]

16. Oh yeah! "Personal responsibility!"

HAH.

[kentauros]

11. Zero political parties, save for the GOP

Yeah, I know, someone else already mentioned it, but I think they'd outright outlaw the mere existence of any party other than their own, with "re-education centers" set up for transgressors.

[calimary]

18. Already here and in place. It's called hate radio.

Great mind-control device.

[Ikonoklast]

13. Recipe for a Revolution, you haz it.

[calimary]

14. Or Somalia.

Total anarchy.

No government.

No laws or regulations.

Pirates running amok.

A few robber barons with all the money and power, unchecked.

Millions of poor, starving, and homeless - and hopeless.

Guns all over everywhere, unrestrained.

Sounds like GOP Heaven.

[Cleita]

19. Or Calcutta, India fifty years ago.

There would be a caste society of rich brahmins at the top who own everything and everyone else would be working for peanuts and living on the streets homeless with less than needed to survive.
